Boston Proud of Her Club.

Boston. April 27.-Bostonians are
greatly tickled over the splendid showing of
the local leaguers in the exhibition games.
Not for years has the Boston team entered
the championship season with such brilliant.
prospects. They will open. to-motroWsat
Washington, and the betting is five to three
that they will thrash the Senator'S The
cause of this hopeful feeling is found in
the great games tine team have played dur
ing the past three weeks. They have won
thirteen out of the sixteen games, defeat
lug the BaltimOres, Brooklyns, Boston
Blues, Butfalos, Newarks, Haverhills and
Syracuse Stars. They lost one
to picked nine of their
extra players, one at Baltimore and one
with Yale. The fielding average of the
team was $40. and the batting average
400. Among the individual players, Wise
leads with $40, Nash second with 4se,
Kelly third with .453, and Morrill, fourth
with .431. The team made altogether 264
base hits. Only four men of the team were
under 1925. These figures prove that no
other league team has any license to
monkey with the BOStOns.

FIimsy Charge Disproved.

WASHINGTON, April 27.-It is stated on
good authority that the evidence submitted
at the recent civil service examination in
Chicago failed to substantiate the charges
preferred by the Chicago Civil Service Re-
form association against Collector Seeberger.
of the Chicago custom house, wherein it was
alleged that the collector, some months since,
violated the civil service law by peremptorily
demanding the resignation of clerk named
webster for the sole reason that the place
was wanted for Democrat. As to the inquiry
into the manner in which the civil service law
rules and regulations are enforced in the
Chicago postofice and the Chicago customs
district, it is stated that the records of the
Offices examined show satisfactory compli-
ance with the law and the regulations of the
commission. 1t is expected that formal
report in the Webster-Seeberger matter will
be made within the next few DAYS

Second Game To-Day 50 Manager
Fosters Views of His Team.
If the weather permits, the second of the
series of games between Minneapolis and
ST. Paul. for the Morton trophy, will be
played this afternoon at the Minneapolis
park. 1t is the intention of the manage
ment to hereafter ser aside two days of each
week as ladies' days, when ladies will be
admitted free. To-day is the first. and all
ladies will be welcomed. This will be the
last game on the home grounds until the
Minneapolis team returns from its southern
trip. The league season will open Oh Sat-
urday. with Minneapolis at La Crosse. The
batting order for tO-day's game is as fol-
lows:
Minneapolis-Hawes. 1b; Patton. rf: Fos-
ter, CT; Meister, 3b; Winkelman, If; Peak
2b; Shaw, IS; McKeever, C; Willis, p.
st. Paul-Murphy, IF: Cleveland. 3b; Will
mot, If; Pickett, 1b; Crooks, SIS; viau, cf;
Sowders, p; Stockwell, C; Mccarthy, 2b
Shaw has been sick for several days, and
i'm case he is unable to play Patton will
play short and Allen in right field. In
Tuesdays game Shaw was entirely unfit to
play, which accounts for his two errors.
and he will not again enter the field until
entirely recovered. Camel, who played
left, has been laid Off and one of the
pitchers will play that field until the arrival
of the new man. who is daily expected.
II am very much pleased with the work of
the team" said Manager Foster, yesterday,
land am satisfied we will show the people we
have the winning club. Its strength has not
vet been developed, though we would have
played an errorless game on Tuesday but for
Shaw's sickness. There Is no better short
stop in the league and he will soon be great
favorite. We have only pitched one man. as
yet, and have four in reserve. Willis is the
speediest man, and can run like a sprinter,
while most of the men think Allen is the
coming great. We will play them all. Winkle-
man, Tuckernan, Willis, Allen and Mori-
arity, and then keep the best ones. I think
we will excel in base running, as we have
the four fastest runners in the league. and as
for batting, just wait and watch u.s. The
league this year is 100 per cent. stronger than
last, and the contest is going to be pretty
one. l expect to see the teams so punched
together that the winner cannot be named
until the last week of the season.

The Duluth ball club lost game yester-

little country club of Kalamazoo Mich, de-

Manager Lucas telegraphed that the boys

the fact remains that they should easily
have beaten Kalamazoo. Oshkosh and Mil
waukee. neither of which clubs has as high

with the Michiganders. and yet Duluth al
lows such team to fairly wallop the dia-
mOnd with them. There are no extenuating
circumstances. The truth is, there is sone-
thing radically wrong with the Duluths. A
suspicion to this effect has lurked in the minds
of many since the GAINESVILLE defat. and the
execrable game at Kalamazoo confirms it.
Every game lost to such clubs as Kalamazoo
takes so much from the prestige held BY
Duluth by reason of last seasons triumph,
and if Mr.. Lucas expects the support of the
citizens not only of Duluth, but of all the
league towns, he must send in better re-
ports.

Brooklyn Athletics 1.

PHILADELPHIA. April 81. - Terry's
pitching was too much for the Athletics to-
day, while Seward was hit harder than at
any time before this season. The field
work of both clubs was excellent, but the
superior batting of the Brooklynites brought
them in easy winners. John O'Bren, the
old Athletic catcher, was presented with
two handsome medals by admiring friends.
He responded to the second presentation by
knocking out home run. Score:

Because La Crosse and Des Moines are
''the babies of the Northwestern league. all
the other cities place them at the foot of the
list. when giving the standing of the several
teams at the end of the season. The two
"Billys"-Harrington and Bryan-are not

at the close, and in positions where they
are not expected to be at the beginning OF
the season. The old saying that 1.-THE still

this case. Some of the Northwestern league
teams have already won the pennant. or at
